What are your general comments?
The experience was pretty good. The interviewers told me all about USACOM and answered all of my questions before I even asked them. Everyone did a really good job of explaining what sets this school apart from the others. I left feeling like I would really enjoy going to school here but a little uneasy not really knowing how well the interviews went.

Do you want to see a tumor? (I was interviewed by a pathologist.)
How did you prepare for the interview?

What impressed you positively?
USACOM's focus on teaching; the campus and facilities were nice too; the admissions guy was entertaining which helped us be pretty calm; small class size is a plus
What impressed you negatively?
The interviewers didn't really ask me alot of questions, so I am not sure how well I did.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I knew about the off campus interviews ahead of time from reading SDN; what I didn't know was that the map they provide you with is pretty much useless.
